There are more than 300 Hyatt Place hotels across the globe, usually ranging in size from 120-200 rooms, though the Sioux Falls location would be smaller. The hotel as designed would have 112 rooms.

Hyatt Place hotels focus on the needs of the guest, with amenities and design emphasizing quality, leisure and efficiency, according to the hotel chain. These hotels are designed for both business and leisure travelers.

In March, Hyatt expected to open early 30 hotels bearing its Hyatt Place brand by the end of the year.

The Sioux Falls location will be the second hotel heading to the Lake Lorraine, after the upscale Aloft hotel, which was announced for the development in February of last year.

Hotels were an important piece of early planning for Lake Lorraine, Van Buskirk said. Developers want to provide hospitality options for people visiting the shops and restaurants.

“The brands that we’ve attracted, the flags that we’ve attracted, the upscale select service, that’s a differentiation for Lake Lorraine,” Van Buskirk said. “To offer something we haven’t seen before in Sioux Falls.”
